This particular topic has been covered ad nausea...The RUKind version is the original recording key. Some years on, the Dead changed the key, raising it 1 full step. Without having gone through your entire chart, I would suspect that there's NO DIFFERENCE between the two except the key change. Meaning you could put a capo on your guitar at fret 2 and play the version in the archive and you'd achieve exactly what you have here. Or you could really do yourself a favor and learn about transposing.

Many folks have approached this song from the Dead Set version. Having not learned it in original key of F. That's what happened to me. I even posted about it being wrong.Lol.That's why I was confused about your chart,Ed.What the hell is it doing in F? It's good to have the transposed version up here anyway.
